Advanced Automatic Collision Notification

Advanced Automatic Collision Notification (AACN) is the successor to Automatic Collision Notification (ACN). the <a href="/facts/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention/NmoJNDV5">CDC</a> and the CDC Foundation partnered with <a href="/facts/OnStar/LDUXPbsL">OnStar</a> and the <a href="/facts/General_Motors_Foundation/j386ntM7">GM Foundation</a> to develop procedures to help emergency medical responders determine whether a motorist needs care at a <a href="/facts/Trauma_center/Mzz3FMCt">trauma center</a> after a vehicle crash. Through this partnership, the CDC conducted a vehicle telematics initiative to develop evidence-based protocols for the emergency medical community to effectively use automotive <a href="/facts/Telemetry/Mz9czXTl">telemetry</a> data.[when?]
By enabling responders to identify, diagnose, and treat injuries faster, this data can help reduce death and injuries among crash victims. CDC convened a panel of emergency medical physicians, <a href="/facts/Trauma_surgeon/Iztta57c">trauma surgeons</a>, <a href="/facts/Public_safety/qrjPmFHH">public safety</a>, and <a href="/facts/Vehicle_safety/8VPeJhSG">vehicle safety</a> experts to consider how real-time AACN and similar systems can be used to determine whether injured patients need trauma center care.
The data may include information about crash severity, direction of impact, <a href="/facts/Airbag/fIygARIw">airbag</a> deployment, number of impacts, and rollovers. Advisors can relay this information to emergency dispatchers, helping them to quickly determine the appropriate personnel, equipment, and facilities.
